so jack lew came to harry reid and said, here's our suggestion. do a sequestration. harry reid rejected it initially. jack lex said, what if we do half of it in defense spending? so an automatic across-the-board cut if we can't find a way to reduce spending in other ways we'll do an across-the-board cut with half of it in defense and the other half of it from other parts of the budget. harry reid agreed with jack le w, the president's chief of staff, so then it came to the senate and went to the house where we begrudgingly agreed. we didn't want to see this. i don't think the white house wanted to see sequestration as well. but this plan that was put in place, the house, the senate and the white house all agreed to was to find some way to reduce spending by $1.2 trillion in long-term spending. the first option was the select committee, the supercommittee, as it was called. it obviously failed in its task. shortly after that, the house of representatives said that the select committee has failed in this task. we cannot have sequestration, and so in may of last year, t

"lincoln" and "dejango unchained" offered sin matic treatments of one of our darkest institutions, slavery. one film presents an unvarnished view of the evils of slavery. the other depicts our difficult journey to end slavery. it's significant that 150 years after president abraham lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation we're still considering in film, in photo and art and activism how to end racism and inequality. in the doorway to my capitol office, i have a photograph of the president in the oval office. let me tell you why i
